my ideal bookshelf

we snagged this book for ben's mom for christmas because, well, what a cool idea! a book that compiles the "ideal bookshelves" of some very interesting people!

but, do you know the backstory? it started as this. again, cool right? a custom-made piece of art that displays your favorite reads. amazing. which books would be in your ideal bookshelf?

and p.s. i have no clue how my hubby would narrow it down. he has about a bajillion books. i know that one day our home will have one of those fancy libraries with the sliding ladders a la beauty and the beast. {sigh}
